So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, adieu...

[Brian Leybourne]

I'm off to travel through Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for six weeks.

No talking while I'm gone. I want all conversation to halt until I'm ready to start reading again.

Just kidding. Fill the board, and give me heaps of stuff to read through when I get back, assuming I don't fall into an ancient Incan pit trap or anything.

As it turns out, you'll probably all see OBAM before I do, which seems a little unfair somehow :-) Anyway, enjoy it, and I expect lots of praise when I get back *grin*

So, unless I find an internet cafe in the wilds of Peru, see you mid July...

Brian.

Actually it is spelled "auf Wiedersehen"
All nouns get capital letters in german,
"wieder" means again
"sehen" means to see
and "sehn" is how you pronounce it in every-day language
and is thus an alternative spelling which can be used informally.

I guess that is what you all just wanted to know right now!

Brian,

Wow that sounds like great fun!  I can't tell you much about the other countries, but I've been to Peru, and you'll definitely be able to find internet cafes in Lima and Cusco.

Also, you should check out the South American Explorers club.  They have clubhouses in Quito in Ecuador, and Lima and Cusco in Peru.  They have GREAT resources for adventuring around the region, and if you plan to do any serious hiking their maps are excellent.

I envy you.  But I expect my consolation prize (OBaM) should be quite enjoyable.  Can't wait to see what you guys have added to this already great game.

Take care,

~Patrick

Having a fucking ball, thanks all for the kinds words.

I almost bought an aborted llama foetus today at the witches market, but where do you keep something like that :-)

La Paz Brian.

Ummm....on your TV, of course!

(Originally, i was going to say "in your pants" :rolleyes:)

Brian, don't take this the wrong way, but i won't be inviting you to any parties anytime soon, hehe!

Heh, I used to work with guys like that...
Hey Brian, I just picked up a bottle of Bowmore Cask Strength... when can you get here to help me kill it and burn a few Cohibas?

Trust me... he has 'em... and he's not afraid to share them!

-Mark (still dizzy from the Bowmore) :D

[Brian Leybourne]

Heh.

Very seedy right now, spent last night drinking La Paz Pilsener in a tiny grotty little pub filled only with locals and shoe-shine boys. 4 days in La Paz is to much though, otherwise I wouldn´t be in an internet cafe for the second time in 2 days.

Salamander, bring it on my friend :-)

La Paz Brian

In Huaraz now, having been right through Puna, Cuzco, Arequipa, Nazca, Pisco (home of the Pisco Sour.. VERY nice) and Lima on the way.

Having a blast. Machu Picchu was fantastic, as were the Nazca lines.

Thanks to those of you who sent me personal emails. I probably wont get much time to respond until I get back, but its nice to get them.

Huaraz Brian.
